I shot some Orwo UN54 100ASA film and had it processed(reversal) at Cinelab. I didn't have it transferred but I must say it looks really nice. UN54 can be processed as negative or reversal. Here are some link to tests that Cinelab did with this film stock.

Really interesting. There's something to be said for the look of film and film grain.

What's the cause of all the speckling (or artifacts?) in the Reversal test? Am I right in judging that there's some over exposure in that test? So generally, if you were shooting a film that way, I suppose you'd be using a light meter?

Any plans to shoot a dramatic film with those tools?

Nice tests. =)

The tests on Vimeo were done by Cinelab not me. I would ask them about their test directly. Some of there test looks over exposed, a good test to see what the film can do.

I'm hoping to shoot a short with it in the near future if my money situation improves.

Ahhhh, of course, makes sense. Hello, it's a test after all.

I hope you get the chance to do it. =)

Their test actually was a bit maddening. It didn't tell me much about the film stock at all. Especially the reversal. Why can't he keep the camera still, expose deliberately, show us a good range of higlights and shadows. And some nice black.

Maybe Orwo will give you a free roll just to shoot a decent battery of test shots
